Tappets Noise??

RT · Post by RT » Fri Jun 25, 2004 1:01 am

Hey Guys,

How can you tell if you've got Tappets noises...? Does it sounds like a truck? or somthing? If you've got Tappets problem, would the sound of the engine grows louder? My car sound like it has been running non stop at Le Mans 24 Hour Race. Need help.

its a tapping noise.

during startup usually.

if you dont notice it, or need to ask you obviously dont suffer from the noise.

I have tappet noise too.....

but i think the engine revs harder to cool down the engine.
however i wonder if the tappet noise affects engine performance

Does UAS do Tappets Adjustments? If anyone has done it there, can you guys tell me the price?

I've been talking to UAS as I need to get my tappets done on my GPX they are willing to do the work no problems but they havent actually done one in the past so there not to sure on price. Im actually going to give em a call today to book it in so if you want to wait i can give you an idea of price ect.

Err...i am slightly confused now...

are the GPXs manually adjustable tappets or auto hydrualic adjusted?

MIVEC engines: solid (manual adjusted) tappets
Non-MIVEC engines: hydraulic (self adjusting) tappets

What is the purpose of that Tappets anyway?
What is the purpose of the valve rocker or something like that?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that they work to push down the lobes on your cam shafts as the car runs, which in turn operate the valves on your engine

the lifters dont come in contact with the cam lobes.

A basic description where they are in the engine, is camshaft, on each lobe there is a rocker arm. one side is the lifter, the other is a valve.

RIght, that makes more sense. My mistake, thanks for that payaya
